Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies for Cookie Swaps

These Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies are ideal for holiday cookie swaps and get togethers. Since the holidays are a busy time, I’ve created a basic oatmeal cookie recipe that can be made into different versions by changing one or two ingredients.

That way, you can bring oatmeal raisin cranberry cookies to one cookie exchange. Oatmeal raisin cookies to another.

Chocolate oatmeal cookies to a third, and so on just by changing the “mix ins” – what you mix into the gluten free oatmeal cookie recipe – such as raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, dried cranberries, and more.

These cookies are gluten free, but are so tasty that even those who aren’t avoiding gluten won’t even notice!

Get creative with your gluten free oatmeal cookie baking.

Not only are these oatmeal cookies convenient to make, you can do flavor combinations making these cookies truly unique.

If you have leftover raisins and chocolate chips, do a half and half mixture! Or combine cranberries, raisins, and chocolate for a special cookie combo.

This Mama’s tips for making a gluten free oatmeal cookie recipe

To make this oatmeal cookie recipe as guilt free as possible, I’ve made a few substitutions.

Monk fruit: I like making oatmeal cookies with monk fruit to cut back on the refined sugar. Powdered monk fruit is a natural, no calorie sweetener that doesn't have a bitter aftertaste like some other no calorie sweeteners.

You can also use Swerve (granular) sweetener, which is very popular with people on Keto diets. I love using Swerve in my baking as it cooks up just like regular sugar.

Butter or buttery spread? If you want these healthy oatmeal cookies to be dairy free, use a vegan buttery spread.
